Re: More Baby #4 ideas
QuoteThis baby will either be the 2nd to last baby, or THE last baby, so I want to pick a good one to round it all off, and don't want her thinking that it wasn't one I didn't put a lot into just because she was 4th.
If you really feel this way, ditch Elisabeth-- it's already your daughter's middle name and it looks lazy-- like "Yeah, we couldn't think of anything better so we just reused a name".
Plus, you have all these honoring names, why would you honor the same person twice when you could honor someone you haven't honored before? Victoria Ellen Rose has the same flow as Elisabeth Ellen Rose and can replace both the Elisabeth Ellen Rose and Victoria Elisabeth combos. I think Marie Margaret, Jane Alice/Joan Alice, and Ruth Margaret "fit" best (all of your kids first names are popular as middle names; so are Marie, Jane, Joan, and Ruth) but in terms of style I think they all work (Cynthia stands out that most, all the other names you have are very classic and Cynthia very much had a moment [the 60s], but it still doesn't feel terribly out of place). My favorite combo (just based on what I like) is Harriet Jane-- Harriet's cute and I think it's up-and-coming-- it'll chart in a couple years.
